--FILE--Pan Shiyi, co-founder, Chairman and co-CEO of Soho China, delivers a speech themed "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, 24 June 2014. A Chinese billionaire couple¯s US$10 million gift to Yale University sparked controversy among the country¯s internet users on Thursday (30 October 2014), with some arguing that the money would be better spent on schools in China. The endowment marks the latest gift to a prestigious US university by Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, the husband-and-wife duo behind real estate giant Soho China. In July, the couple gave Harvard University US$15 million in the first stage of a US$100 million programme that Pan and Zhang say will fund disadvantaged Chinese students at top institutions across the globe. But the reaction online was largely negative, with some users criticising the couple for not giving the money to Chinese domestic institutions. °They¯re rushing to give money to foreigners, but what about all the poor children in China¯s mountainous areas?± one user wrote on Weibo.
